Vinci<\/a>, gives the Council a head start on the works.<\/p>\nThe \u00a360m initial plans of the mixed-use development, which will include a new relocated dynamic and modern market, six-screen cinema, restaurants, a public square and car parking, would see the contract signed for the building works by the end of next year.<\/p>\n
Phase 1 of the Chester Northgate development already has the brands Picturehouse, Tapas Revolution, Cosy Club and Zizzi confirmed and the proposed market will be at the heart of the first phase, with ambitious plans to become one of the best markets in the country.<\/p>\n
Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Infrastructure, Councillor Brian Clarke, said: \u201cWe have a clear vision for Chester Northgate that will support a lively leisure and culture offer in the city, as outlined in the One City Plan. It will support local retailers and Storyhouse and also provide much needed jobs, car parking, housing and office space in the heart of Chester.<\/p>\n
\u201cChester Northgate is the largest project the city has seen in decades. Our aim is to secure Chester\u2019s position as a visitor destination for years to come. Northgate is at the heart of our ambitions for Chester and it\u2019s essential that we maintain the current momentum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appointment of an internationally renowned company such as Vinci underlines its importance to the city and the region, and its significance in our plans to ensure Chester remains a go-to destination.\u201d<\/p>\n
An initial Pre-Construction Agreement, starting in autumn 2019, will see Vinci work on the final design and costings. The company will also provide key advice prior to the construction phase to make sure the build meets potential tenant requirements and provides the best value for money.<\/p>\n
Supporting the news, Shadow Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing, Councillor Stuart Parker, said: \u201cPhase 1 of Chester Northgate will create a significant new destination within the heart of the city, complementing other key One City Plan investments such as the Central Business Quarter and the award winning Storyhouse and new bus station.<\/p>\n
\u201cVinci have an impressive portfolio of developments and I\u2019m confident they are the right people for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
John Roberts, Regional Director, Vinci Construction UK added: \u201cWe are very much looking forward to working with Cheshire West and Chester Council. This is the next positive step towards the redevelopment of the Northgate area of Chester. Being named preferred Bidder will enable us to strengthen our existing community links in the surrounding area.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of the next stage of the Chester Northgate development, the council will be engaging with local businesses and residents, working in partnership with the Chester Growth Partnership.<\/p>\n
